6 Top Kitchen Must-Haves for Autumn!
With me buying my first home last year I am still trying to add bits here and there to make it exactly how I want it. I do end up buying things unnecessarily and impulse buy, so I decided to focus on one room at a time and do a bit of research first. I am focusing on the kitchen right now and I am sharing with you the must have items I have discovered for Autumn. I scoured the internet for some of the weird and wonderful creations out there, making life that little bit easier in the kitchen. I am a terrible cook so I do rely a lot on…

I wasn’t 100% sure what ‘transformation’ included exactly but I was very excited to…
